1. The Talk premieres today at 2 p.m. Which is easy to describe. It’s The View, but without Elizabeth! Oh, I kid. The Talk starts today and it’s a bunch of women who will all talk at the same time. The hosts are: Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur.

2. So, three weeks to go before Conan O’Brien launches his new show for TBS, shot in Burbank, CA and starting Nov. 8. He’s already begun taping comedy bits and, perhaps, rubbing his hands and laughing maniacally. At least he might be, according to this Wall Street Journal story that says the Tonight Show, which O’Brien lost when Jay Leno decided he wanted the show back, has lost a good deal of its youth viewership. Prime audience pickings for O’Brien. The two will not go head to head — Conan airs at 11 p.m. and Leno’s Tonight Show airs at 11:35 p.m. — but it will be painted as a battle royale. Pass it on, wouldya?

Keeping watching this space: Conan O’Brien’s new show, called Conan will debut on Nov. 8, in Canada on CTV, Monday to Thursday nights at 1 a.m. (after Colbert), and two hours earlier in the U.S., on TBS.
